Lyon’s Benrahama appeal latest
Lyon blasted West Ham for their “incomprehensible behaviour” and “lack of respect” after the collapse of Said Benrahma’s move to France.
The furious French club had cameras ready to announce Benrahma live on TV last night, but, in a scathing statement, claimed West Ham failed to submit their side of the deal to Fifa’s Transfer Matching System (TMS).
Lyon are lodging an appeal with Fifa over the issue and say they will “hold West Ham responsible”.
SunSport understands Lyon had their TMS process completed 90 minutes before the deadline, while many at West Ham were also shocked by the failure.
Some insiders suspected it was a simple administrative mistake, with one conceding Lyon may have been too hasty in lambasting West Ham.
